In his pamphlet Common Sense, published in January, 1776, Thomas Paine used the everyday language of the colonists to express his feelings about Great Britain.
excerpt from Common Sense by Thomas Paine
Arms, as the last resource, decide the contest; the appeal was the choice of the king, and the continent hath accepted the challenge…Every quiet method for peace hath been ineffectual. Our prayers have been rejected with disdain; and only tended to convince us, that nothing flatters vanity, or confirms obstinacy in kings more than repeated petitioning—and nothing hath contributed more than that very measure to make the kings of Europe absolute… Wherefore, since nothing but blows will do, for God’s sake, let us come to a final separation, and not leave the next generation to be cutting throats, under the violated unmeaning names of parent and child.
